snapper_city Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Can we get as many as possible entries from this into the D - day GB? Would have loved this one to make it but have to be realistic. More Armour on BM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I could chip in with an Sd.Kfz.234/2..... Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Having thought all things through now, my panzer is going to be in the Korean War GB (T34/85). Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Smith Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have a load of 1/48th armour, so I really should build some....or even my 1/76th 'been a long time since I built a tank' test kits.. so I'd like a go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1fuN0 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Well i'll be blowed! This monster has risen its head again..... I didnt actually know that this was up for consideration again, and thanks to Mish for pushing this through for us. So, we all still in? Even though I just build cars and bikes now, and I've sold all my AFV kits, I can quite quickly pop on down to the local shop and get myself something suitable for the GB (cant let the side down) So guys, you in?

PlaStix Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 This was originally in a time before I knew about Group Builds on BM so I missed it the first time around - but I'm in if that's okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Sole survivors of that whole unfortunate episode! What are you referring to here? Anyway, I am now writing to Santa asking for three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm still up for this and have cast my vote. As I said previously I normally build wingy things but have been drawn to the dark side for something different. Hope it gets through, looking forward to it now.

robvulcan Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 We need cheerleaders: They always seem to do the trick around here! I was too busy looking at them I have only just noticed the Panzer part.. Great way to subliminally coerce us to Vote Panzer !... If only a group build got you your own set of supporting cheer leaders to help you along the way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Serious question... If I was to build a T34 under this GB, would I later be able to pass it off as a North Korean tank (or vice versa!). (Got a Korean War themed club competition coming up next year ) This is the kit and I was in any case thinking of giving it a light covering of snow!

Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 That's interesting Cliff....I've not seen that boxing before. I'd be interseted to see the parts as I understand EE have boxed other peoples kits on and off. Here's a piccy you might want to save for your build: There is a bit of an issue closing up the front hull of EE's own tool T-34s, so assuming that's what's in your box it's worth filing a couple of relieving notches at the front top corner of each lower hull side plate.....This greatly reduces the gap between the glacis plates when you close the hull up.

CliffB Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks Sgt.S, that's good to know. Here are the sprues (hope that's enough detail!). It does look to me as though it is indeed the same kit as in your photo. Coming back to my original question, presumably this is OK for a Korean War tank too? I'm getting quite excited about next year's Group Builds, as there seem to be quite a lot of opportunities (almost irrespective of which GBs get through), for those of us who have less mainstream tastes Cheers Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yeah that's an EE tool (was worried you had a repopped AER kit) and it's fine for the Korean war....You might want to tweak a few things here and there, but no surgery will be needed. Fire me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll see if I can sort some references out. TBH all the GBs on here turn out a fine spectrum of models, but I'd love to see slightly wider choices put forward, as I said in the 'Lesser Known Air Forces' thread, if we'd made it 'Lesser Known Armed Forces' instead, we'd still have all the current paricipants, plus the AFV crew and the Shipbuilders too. While we probably all started on aircraft, they really aren't the only subject worthy of the forums attention and in my experience a change of subject can be a great mojo-restorer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I´ve built the same EE T-34/85 from four different boxings, the only difference being in one that had the mine rollers. Their kit #72009 is the AER rebox. V-P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
